Spinning

This is a small spinning project that will probably be spun and done before we all know it. This is the Merino/Angora/Silk top that I had started spinning on my beautiful Pink Lemon Bossie Spindle (Pink Ivory whorl and Pau Amarillo shaft), but I'm so out of practice with a spindle and this is so slippery, I decided to put it on the wheel instead. I've only got 4 ounces of it, but of course angora and silk will make it go farther than it would if it were just the Merino. I don't have any definite plans for this but I'll spin it as a 3 ply. I might make some mitts out of it, or maybe a soft, fluffy scarf - who knows?

I realized after yesterday's post that I hadn't explained why I knit two pairs of the Scarborough Fair socks, and sure enough, someone asked in the comments. The pattern was originally released for the December design for the Yarn 4 Socks Sock Club. They had a custom dyed sock yarn done by Madelinetosh (really lovely sock yarns if you haven't tried them yet), so I worked it up in the club yarn for that version of the pattern for the first pair. Since that yarn was exclusive to the sock club, I wanted to show the design in a yarn that anyone could get for the public (non sock club) version of the pattern, so I knitted it again in Louet fingering weight in the Soft Coral color. You only need one sock to get pictures of it for a pattern, so now I'm knitting the second sock in the Soft Coral, which will complete the second pair/fourth sock in that design. The first sock was completed back in October, but I didn't start the final three socks until right around Christmas or so. Does that answer your question? Are you sorry you asked?
